低気圧直流グロー放電中のメタノール分解

Decomposition characteristics of methanol in a low-pressure DC glow discharge in nitrogen-oxygen mixture are investigated by mass spectrometry. We obtained CO, CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₂ and HCN as methanol fragments and by-products; C₂H₂ and HCN are minor intermediate products, and CO, CO₂ and CH₄ are end products in the discharge. It is found that the yield of CO₂ increases with oxygen concentration, but that the yield of CO peaks around the oxygen concentration of 15%.
